I­ had a sweet tooth
One too many cavities
Couldn't even taste it
Caught up in the fallacy
-------------------------------------------------------­------
Pocket watch rewound
Pressed upon her hip
But with her hand embraced
She already let time slip
----------------------------------------------------------­---
Gone are outside illuminations
Save for lonely constellations
Save our souls from machinations
and words for loving incantations
--------------------------------------------------­-----------
Living inside the shadow of dark
Awakened irritated, muted emotions stark
With serene dreams of waking
To the melody of a meadowlark.
